Languages and Accessibility
June 13, 2026 at 04:42 AM
Refreshed stale "May 2026" date anchors to June 2026 (claims unchanged: Steam still lists the same languages, no broken-out interface/subtitle/voice fields, no documented accessibility features, no assigned age rating)
Light No Fire's Steam store page lists eight supported languages as of June 2026. This article documents what has been confirmed and what remains undocumented about localisation and accessibility. Hello Games has not held an accessibility briefing, so most accessibility details fall under not yet documented rather than confirmed or denied.
From the Steam store page (App ID 2719590):
Language | Notes |
|---|---|
English | Likely the development primary; press kit and official site are in English. |
French | Listed on Steam |
Italian | Listed on Steam |
German | Listed on Steam; a strong regional market for survival sandbox games |
Spanish (Spain) | Latin American Spanish is not separately listed as of this update |
Russian | Listed on Steam |
Simplified Chinese | Listed on Steam; supports mainland China market |
Traditional Chinese | Listed on Steam; supports Taiwan and Hong Kong markets |
Whether each language has full interface, full subtitles, and full voiced audio support has not been specified. Steam typically distinguishes interface, subtitles, and voiceover separately, but the Light No Fire store page has not broken these out as of June 2026.
Several languages common in international Steam releases are not on the supported list as of this update. Whether they may be added before launch is not announced:
Japanese: not listed.
Korean: not listed.
Portuguese (Brazil): not listed.
Latin American Spanish (separate from Spain Spanish): not listed.
Polish: not listed.
Turkish: not listed.
Arabic: not listed.
Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian: not listed.
Hello Games has not committed to adding any of these. The initial language list may expand before launch (as it has for No Man's Sky), but no plans have been announced.
Hello Games has not held an accessibility briefing for Light No Fire. As of June 2026 no accessibility features have been formally documented. Genre-standard accessibility options that fans typically ask about include:
Colourblind modes and palette options.
Subtitle size and styling controls.
Subtitle for environmental audio (creature calls, water, weather).
HUD scaling and customisation.
Camera-shake reduction and motion-sickness mitigation (especially important for dragons and flying mounts flight).
Aim assist and combat timing accommodations.
Input remapping (keyboard, controller, ergonomic devices).
Difficulty toggles and combat assist.
Single-hand controller layouts.
Screen-reader and text-to-speech support.
Photosensitive epilepsy warnings and reduced-flash modes.
None of these are confirmed or denied for Light No Fire. Hello Games' approach to No Man's Sky has been to ship a baseline accessibility set at launch and expand it over time through free updates; whether Light No Fire follows the same pattern is not stated.
The reveal trailer did not include voiced dialogue. The press kit does not mention voice acting talent. Whether Light No Fire has a voiced cast, narrated lore, or environmental NPC dialogue has not been documented.
Whether localisation is handled in-house at Hello Games or contracted to external studios has not been disclosed. Translation timing, parity with English content, and patch-day localisation updates are not described. For comparison, No Man's Sky's localisation grew over time alongside the game; Light No Fire could follow a similar model but Hello Games has not committed to anything.
The Steam page does not display an age rating as of June 2026, and no ESRB, PEGI, USK, or CERO rating has been assigned. Content notes on the store page mention interactive elements and online interactivity, which are Steam's standard generic disclosures rather than detailed content warnings.
The trailer contains combat with melee weapons and visible enemy deaths, but the tone is described by Hello Games as warm and adventurous rather than grimdark. The official lore framing is fairy tales with teeth, which suggests violence will be present but stylised. Specific content (gore intensity, blood toggles, dialogue warnings) is not documented.
